This article analyses the collaboration of poet Celerina Sánchez and musician Víctor Gally, the duo Natsiká (Ñuu savi [Mixtec] poetry and blues). Using a variety of intermedial resources, this duo focuses on sound in an attempt to make tu'un savi [mixtec] a recognizable language. We explore the remediation of two poems, “Nika'ín ɨɨn” and “Yo'ó ingáyu,” from the book-disc Káku ta'án (2019), as well as the intersemiotic translation between the media of the printed book (bilingual tu'un savi and Spanish writing), the Soundcloud with harmonica musicalization, and the video recording of their performance.

This article investigates the role of social networking sites (SNS) in the internationalization of small businesses (SE). The multiple case study conducted between 2013 and 2014 shows that SNS support crucial marketing efforts such as the identification of new business opportunities and foster the development of professional and personal relationships with foreign partners. These tools are used by small businesses to communicate at three different levels with their foreign markets (organizational, individual professional and private) and in a cost effective way, saving them resources and allowing them to fasten the internationalisation process.

In view of the high attrition rates in distance education identified in our previous studies, we focus on peer interactions through the use of an educational social networking environment (ELGG) in three Canadian postsecondary institutions, using a design-based experiment methodology. Traces show that only about 40% of the students visit the environment at least once, and that only one fourth of them become frequent users. The main obstacles to participation mentioned by the 38 interviewees are the lack of participation by other students, the classical “cold-start” problem in social media, technical problems (connection problems and user problems), and concerns about time and flexibility. Students' suggestions aimed to facilitate participation or connections among students while increasing the associated value and rewards.

While many strategies for protecting personal privacy rely on regulatory frameworks, consent, and anonymizing data, they are not always effective. Terms and Conditions often lag behind advances in technology, software, and user behaviours, and consent to use data for a range of unclear purposes may be provided unwittingly. As the commercial market for (student) data expands, so does the number of brokers who move, share and sell data across continents and legislative environments. This paper reviews four Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) providers from different geopolitical and regulatory contexts. It explores how consent to collect and use data is described to potential users, and how that consent applies at micro, meso, and macro levels.This paper proposes a need for greater transparency around the implications of users granting consent at the point of registration. Further, it highlights that though MOOC providers have a responsibility to make clear the potential uses and sharing of user data, users themselves should also be more aware and consider how meaningful student agency can be achieved.
